I have a miss-mash of Altec Lansing speakers from the late 80's/early 90's. I bought 5 RS-180 with the free shipping PE had during x-mas, wish i working agian or I would have bought my new HT sub as well.

I will be building Jon Marsh's Modula TM's. What i have so far are 5 rs-180's, i will be placing the order for the Seas 27TDFC tweeter rather soon. i will be doing the boxes slightly different then jon's used. baffle width will remain the same so no changeing the xo will be needed. i am going to make it sealed which as a plus slims the box down. since this is meant for HT i wanted the higher power handling over the lower F3 the ported offers. The F3 as show in Winisd is 70hz in a box @ .4 cu.ft. this is oversized to allow for space taken up by the driver/xo/bracing. Planning on my HT sub to be the DAYTON RSS265HF-4 10" HIGH FIDELITY SUBWOOFER with the PE-240watt amp.

Following the BOM the total projected cost is $564 for drivers/xo parts. consider if you place a order 4 or over, $2 is take off for each driver.
